The college has been under controversy since its establishment.

Gurung said that since two parallel armies are still in place even after the ending of the conflict, it has only made “the situation more complex”. He also insisted that there was urgent need to mainstream the security forces of both sides if the elections area to take place on time.

“The state already has security forces numbering 185,000 and adjusting another 20,000 would not be a difficult task,” Gurung said.
